What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁
I enjoy seeing students gain confidence in their abilities and develop a genuine interest in the subject, finally understanding a concept after initially struggling with it. Being able to support their learning journey, help them overcome challenges, and make academics feel more approachable and less intimidating is what I feel is the most rewarding part about being a tutor.My Strengths as Tutor 💪
I believe my strengths as a tutor lie in my ability to explain concepts clearly, adapt my teaching approach based on each student's needs, and create an encouraging learning environment. Additionally, I have a cheerful and energetic attitude that allows me to motivate students and keep them engaged. My experience in peer mentoring has also helped me develop patience and strong communication skills, ensuring that I can support students effectively while making learning an enjoyable experience.Most important things I can do for a student 🏅
From my own experience, I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is foster a positive learning environment. Celebrating wins and providing patient, encouraging support through mistakes helps students gain confidence and come out of their shell. When students feel comfortable and supported, they are more likely to enjoy learning and see mistakes as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks, and this really makes the difference in their academic development.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

About Neha
About me !
My name is Neha Ramesh, and I'm an international student at the University of South Australia, currently studying Medical Radiation Science in my second year. My academic journey has not only deepened my passion for science but also reinforced my belief in the transformative power of education. Beyond my studies, I'm deeply committed to teaching—during high school, I served as a peer mentor, helping younger students overcome challenges and build confidence. I see myself as both a lifelong learner and an enthusiastic teacher, dedicated to making complex subjects more accessible and inspiring a genuine love for learning.
My background with mentoring !
I have a solid background in tutoring and mentoring. In high school, I served as a peer mentor for two years, providing academic support and guidance to younger students. In this role, I helped them overcome challenges, build confidence, and better understand complex subjects by tailoring my approach to their individual needs. Additionally, I've participated in multiple workshops that allowed me to interact with and support children. For example, in Malaysia I took part in a design thinking workshop that enabled us to reach out to a refugee school, where we engaged with the students and supported their learning in meaningful ways. I also regularly help my 16-year-old sister with challenging maths and science topics as she navigates high school. As a late teenager myself, I feel I can effectively connect with younger people—making them feel comfortable in a familiar environment while maintaining professionalism. These experiences have given me valuable insights into working with kids and teenagers, ensuring that learning remains both engaging and accessible.

The student has a strong foundation and quickly grasps new techniques. For example, when guided through a question she had initially answered incorrectly, she was able to apply the same strategies effectively to similar problems. In addition, she is very enthusiastic about learning, and genuinely wants to improve her knowledge and grades which is quite rare to see nowadays. She demonstrated great resilience, taking her mistakes in stride and using them as opportunities to improve and learn.
The student initially struggled with handling positive and negative signs but showed improvement as the session progressed. She may also benefit from organising her working out more clearly to avoid confusion throughout the answering process. Additionally, it seems that some fundamental algebraic concepts, such as multiplying variables and index laws, have not been taught to her in a way that she has fully understood. Strengthening these fundamentals will be important for her overall progress in algebra, as they are essential building blocks for more complex topics later on in the year. Finding ways to make key strategies stick (whether through practice, visualisation, or mnemonic techniques) will help her apply them more confidently in classwork, homework, and tests.
